Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 extended trades due to Zaahen's sustain and Determination scaling, so focus on short Q3-auto-E back trades.
- Post-6 you gain significant advantage through R engage potential and E safety, allowing you to dictate fight timing and avoid his telegraphed R.
How to Trade
- Use E-Q3-auto combos for quick trades, immediately snapping back before he can respond with W pull or extended trade.
- Save your E defensively when possible, as it's your only escape from his W pull and R engage attempts.
Wave Control
- Focus on shoving waves quickly with Q and backing off, denying him easy Determination stacks from extended minion fights.
- Look to roam or back frequently rather than trying to match his sustain in lane.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't get pulled into extended trades without your E available, as his Q healing and Determination stacking will overwhelm your damage output.
- Avoid using E aggressively when he has W up, as the pull can trap you in his damage range even if you try to snap back.
